Abstract
A new Ageratum plant, characterised particularly as to novelty by its bicolor blue and violet flowers, early flowering, strongly branched plant habit and compact growth.
Description
- Ageratum houstonianum
- ‘Agbic’
- The present invention comprises a new distinct cultivar of Ageratum, botanically known as Ageratum houstonianum. The new cultivar is propagated from cuttings resulting from the cross of ‘S494-2’ as female parent and ‘S228A-2’ as male parent. This cross was made in October 1998. ‘S494-2’ is not commercially available and has not been patented. ‘S228A-2’ is not commercially available and has not been patented.
- As a result of this cross, the present cultivar was selected in August 1999 in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, in Gilroy, Calif., and in Sarrians, France over a three-year period. The distinctive characteristics of this new Ageratum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction. It takes 8 to 10 weeks to produce a finished plant, depending on the temperature.
- This new Ageratum plant is an annual in most climatical zones in the US, only in zones 9 and 10 it is a perennial plant.
- The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Agbic’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Agbic’ as a new and distinct Ageratum cultivar:
-
- 1. Compact, upright and mounded growth habit
- 2. Freely branching habit
- 3. Freely flowering habit with many capitula in compound umbels
- 4. Purple and violet capitula on small green coloured leaves
- Plants of the new Ageratum differ primarily from the plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
- Plants of the new Ageratum have purple and violet coloured capitula whereas plants of the female parent selection have purple capitula. Plants of the new Ageratum have a compact habit with small leaves, whereas the plants of the female parent are vigorous with small leaves.
- Plants of the new Ageratum differ primarily from the male plant selection in the following characteristics:
- Plants of the new Ageratum have purple and violet coloured capitula whereas plants of the male parent selection have purple capitula.
- This new Ageratum plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows blooms, buds and foliage of the plant in full color, the color shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures
- The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of this new Ageratum. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The plant history was taken on 20 weeks old plants, blossomed under natural light in the field.
- Color readings were taken in the greenhouse under ambient light. Color references are primarily to the RHS Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
